[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] V@no:
Hello.

Is there a way get rid off the lock screen once and for all? We have power button, which I found more then sufficient for accidental screen taps protection.

On Motorola Atrix 4G/2 it's controlled by "screen_lock" key in com.motorola.android.providers.settings database

Anything similar in Skyrocket?

Thank you.

P.S.

trying to avoid no-lock app, which I had trouble with in the past.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gary86:
I've already posted questions about network speeds so...

I've read about issues with apps showing up weird due to screen size. Does anyone have issues with common apps such as Facebook, tapatalk, other popular apps? Will I have full access to the app market?

I plan on ordering from Handtec, has anyone used them? Who honors the Samsung 2 yr warranty that comes with this device?

Is there anything else I should know or be concerned about when picking up this device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Uncle Louie:
I thinks that it's still up in the air. I'll most likely just get a Squaretrade warranty and be done with it. Have had great luck with them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Thanks to all of the devs who've been working on this phone, we now have various ways to get root access to our phone (ie. torpedo, AIO, etc.). The question I have is which method is the best or does it not matter? Are there any drawbacks to one method or another?

I've had success with using the AIO one-click method. However, I'm trying to narrow down the reason for my phone randomly rebooting. After my last wipe, my phone was stable for 2 days. Once I rooted it, my phone randomly rebooted the next day. I don't know if this was a simple coincidence or if somehow rooting caused the reboot. I know many of you have rooted and don't have random reboots. The only apps I had installed at this point where:

Deja Office

Enhanced Email

Titanium Backup

Any thoughts?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
I'm rooted with the AIO one-click and I've never had a random reboot. Then again, before I rooted I never had a random reboot either. I think part of it is just luck of the draw and varies between individual phones. Some people have random reboots several times a day no matter what they do top their phones, some have none, and everything in between. Sorry I couldn't help solve your issue, but I hope I helped anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Thanks for your response and I'm glad the one-click method is working for you with no reboots. Of course, this sends me back to the drawing board. :o

I'm rebuilding my phone right now and will try the torpedo root method to see if my phone will be more stable. If not, I guess I'll get a 3rd Photon replacement. Like you said, maybe it is just the luck of the draw with the hardware. Some phones can handle the 1.4 oc kernels and some can't. Wish me luck...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
According to this thread, rooting with the one-click method prohibits flashing the CM7 ROM but the torpedo method works. Therefore, there does seem to be a difference between the rooting methods.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Rabidmechanic05:
I seem to remember hearing something about titanium backup being unstable on this phone, was that fixed?

[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Fortunately, Titanium works well on my MoPho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
yea... thats not true... >.>

rooting doesnt mean unlocking. there is a difference. for instance between rooting and running odin on a samung phone, or rooting and running unrevoked on htc... rsdlite is much much lower programming then root is. since im on linux and i use sbf_flash i actually have a return to goodness script that roots me installs an unlocked bootloader and flashes cwm all in one for me for after locking it back up again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bearw815:
And that thread does not state it prohibits flashing cm7 using AIO. He was just having some issues unlocking so it was recommended to start fresh using another method.

And like the man above^ says two different things /rooting vs unlocking.

just saying...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Cool, if I misunderstood what was being stated in that thread... my bad. ;)

Just trying to figure out what is making my phone unstable. I just rooted my phone using the torpedo method this time around which made me further appreciate the convenience of shabbypenguin's one-click method. :D

Let's see how long I can go without a random reboot!

no its cool, i get plenty of people that blame root for all sorts of things ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] buck0:
I know I'm going to probably get my ass chewed for doing this (yes i know the answers are out there) BUT...

I'm overseas right now with my useless G2x (cause the phone doesn't work for wifi calling).

Ok, i'm looking to;

get the latest push of software (coolest setup) that will let me wifi call again, and also is there a way to download apps on my laptop then push them to my phone?

I've been out of the loop for quite a while being overseas and all (maybe since CM7 build 70's or so)... so any help on the latest devs would be great!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
If you really need wifi calling get a stock 2.3 rom, weapon would be my choice wifi calling should work perfect, but if you use wifi calling why would you need to dload apps to laptop, just use wifi to dload from market to phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You can download any apk file and transfer it to your phone via usb. Then install the apk straight from ur phone.

Which rom are you using that wifi calling doesn't work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Wifi calling is a T-Mobile feature. I am over seas too! In Germany on o2. I just froze wifi calling cuz when I tried it, it said invalid sim.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Correct its a T-Mobile feature. But for T-Mobile customers its a great way to save $$$ when traveling over seas. Once you connect to wifi calling, from anywhere in the world, calls and texts to/from US numbers are counted as domestic calls. The OP Didn't say he was on tmobile or not. If he is then wifi calling should work. If not T-Mobile then of course, as you said, it wont work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ecdy:
I used wifi calling without trouble on my locked g2x in London in August, with Froyo. It might have made a difference that tmo if a carrier in Britain, but then again there's tmo all over Europe.

Jeffrey
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Why not use CM7.... that seems like the best solution.

WiFi Calling works on just about every rom except MIUI. I know because I use it almost every day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
As long as you're a T-Mobile subscriber (meaning you have a T-Mobile SIM in your phone) you can use wifi calling, regardless which carriers operate in the area where you're traveling. Once you connect to a wifi network the wifi calling app connects to T-Mobile's network.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matematic:
I saw a lot of questions from other people asking how to revert back to stock rom !!!2.3.4!!! with locked bootloader. I found a way but please USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

What I did.

1. Downloaded !!!2.3.4!!! ROM from Atrix Firmwares Superthread (Official Firmware Team of M3) thread. In my case it was the latest Retail UK.

2. Flash it using sbf_flash under linux or RSD LIte (windows)

3. Usually if you come from CM7 after flashing and booting you will get a boot loop.

4. Flash the unlocked bootloader again and install recovery using fastboot

5. WIPE/CLEAN DATA/CACHE and DALVIK

6. Flash again the ROM with sbf_flash or RSD Lite

Reboot and enjoy...

If you have broblems booting the device, remove the battery and then try again.

IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, DON'T BLAME ME. IT IS A DIRTY METHOD AND NOT WELL TESTED.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alil:
for me i do this first,

1. boot to recovery

format sd/sd-ext

Wipe Dalvik

wipe cache

factory reset/data

2. boot into fastboot

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot

3. Flashing 2.3.4 ROM

flash your desire version on ROM using RSD Lite

need help in reverting to orange UK gingerbread from flashed retail

Hi

I also need to go back to stock orange from UK retail need some help.

this is my problem:

1) I was on orange froyo

2) flashed using rsd lite and the sbf file given http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19428405&postcount=215

the problem:

1) Now the RSD lite is not able to recognise the my phone software/ IMEI. However, it shows as phone connected to USB. i'm getting the following result on the left top window in rsd lite

ITechnology: N / A

Software Version: N / A

Flex Version: N / A

Bootloader Version: fce9

DRM Version: N/A

MEI/ESN/MEID: N / A

2) The motorola update software is also not able to recognise my phone - it shows phone not connected.

I want to revert to Orange (since the gingerbread is released by orange in UK now). Please need some help
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
You can't relock the bootloader. All u can do is make it appear as if it's locked again by doing as described above. The stock .sbf will remove the "unlocked" logo.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alil:
yes, as i am doing, the bootloader is locked back as stock..

if you need to unlock it back use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 method..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decker39:
Try this, it worked for me.

Turn your phone off first

Open up motorola software update program.

Connect your phone to the usb.

Turn your phone back on and the software update program will recognise your phone once it boots up fully.

The program will detect that you have the latest retail UK version and tell you that you have the latest update. The only way to get the Orange gingerbread back on your phone is to flash it via RSD Lite. The Orange gingerbread version can be found in the Super firmware thread. But why would you want to do that when you've successfully " debranded " your Atrix. I was in the same position as you, but i've left the UK retail version on mine

YOU CANNOT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER!!!!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzkalra:
The only reason I want to go back to orange is because I feel that my phone is no longer as smooth as it used to be!! There is definitely a some lag and I think it may be due to retail version sbf used to update to gingerbread.

what should I do?

Cwr looks in the folder "sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-11-21.23.27.32/" (example date from my backup folder) so it sounds like you aren't copying the backup to the correct place.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leew1979:
Good day,

Can anyone with a real live Galaxy Nexus (or even another handset hacked and running Android 4.0) confirm if the music-playing-alphabetically bug STILL exists? If you aren't familiar, let me explain. This problem is well documented and has existed for years in various versions of Android. (Do a Google search for "android music alphabetical order" and you'll see years of posts from all over the Internet, about tons of devices, regarding this issue.)

As briefly as possible, the bug is that media in non-MP3 format (notably M4A and WMA) ignores track numbers in metadata tags and instead gets sorted and displayed alphabetically. I had great hope that this would be fixed in Google Music, but can confirm that this application on my Galaxy S II running 2.3.4 still does this wrong.

To duplicate, just do the following: place a full, correctly-tagged, album in M4A or WMA format on the phone using any method you like (USB Storage or MHL via Windows Media, makes no difference) then attempt to play the album in real life track order. It doesn't work. Android refuses to read the tags on anything except MP3's and thus defaults to alphabetical order. (It ignores embedded album art too, for the record. And just to confirm: YES. All my music is meticulously tagged, and even a tagging app on the Android phone confirms that it sees the track numbers.) It's an M4A- or WMA-and-Android problem.

I won't go on a rant about how utterly inexcusable this is (although it absolutely is) and how my WP7 and iOS devices handle this very simple task just fine. Except: it is inexcusable, and those OS's DO handle this just fine. As someone who frequently listens to albums in real-life track order, and who doesn't have the time to transcode all my music just to satisfy a buggy OS, it honestly renders an Android device nearly useless to me. I'm interested in the Galaxy Nexus, but after purchasing a Galaxy S II and being disappointed with this bug, I'm not inclined to get a Nexus if it can't do this properly either. Can anyone confirm if this works properly on a Galaxy Nexus and/or in Android 4.0?

Thanks much,

Adam
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
I leave it to someone with an ICS phone or rom to answer your question, but until then you can help yourself with a little app.

Use MediaFix from the market to update your MediaStore database with the correct informations: https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.gorgonloop.MediaFix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leew1979:
gokpog --

Thanks for the reply. I had forgotten completely about the existence of MediaFix. It's even installed on my GS2, but I use the device so sporadically I forgot all about it. (As you may have detected from my post, I just picked it up again for the purpose of checking out Google Music.) I suspect you'd agree with me that such a utility shouldn't even need to exist, but hey, a fix is a fix.

Still, I'm quite interested to see if Google has addressed this properly in 4.0.

Again, thanks,

Adam
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Hi

I'm going to check this out and see if it fixes the album art bug. I am anal about properly tagging my collection and it burns me that the media services screw up the album art all the time. I mean come on all the mp3 in each album all have the same art, album, and artist and it still assigns random wrong art to albums and tracks. I just don't get it.

EDIT: looks like it only works for mp4. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Since when does iOS or Android support WMA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leew1979:
Solved... ish...

It was really an accident that I learned about the WMA bit. Windows Media Player understands and syncs to the phone but insists on conversion of MP4 to WMA, with no way to turn this off -- as verified flatly by an official Microsoft answer. The Galaxy sees and will play the tracks but refuses to read the tags or album art in the WMA file. I would have been willing to (grudgingly) accept using WMA files on the phone, but not at the expense of making the original problem worse. Natch.

After some more research and testing I have ascertained that -- bafflingly -- the problem is directly related to the method of file transfer. MP4 files (but still not WMA as discussed above) which are put onto the phone using the MTP sync protocol get recognized fine, tags, art, and track numbers... All correct. The problem is therefore that files written using USB Mass Storage are the screwed up ones. (Sorry, DoubleTwist, you lose too.) So, in a roundabout way this seems it will be fixed with the Galaxy Nexus in that it only supports MTP. Someone geekier than me, please feel free to speculate or flat-out school me on why this difference exists. I do understand that MTP works at the logical file level rather than the lower block level of Mass Storage, and thus I can understand why the Galaxy Nexus can't support Mass Storage (no way to dismount the single partition)... but back to the Galaxy S II, I am still perplexed at how the phone fully understands files laid down one way but doesn't for the exact same files laid down another way.

So now, for me it's either manual copies in Windows Explorer (sucks, no way to easily and automatically add new albums using smart playlists, as I do with iTunes for my iOS devices and Zune for my WP7 phone) or use a media manager which supports MTP but which also doesn't force WMA conversion. This therefore knocks out WMP and Songbird. So far, then, this means it's either Kies (and hell will freeze solid before I use that garbage routinely) or MusicBee which seems to work fine, but damn, this has been a long way round a problem which shouldn't exist at all... And which would also seem to leave Mac and Linux users still out in the cold, as MTP is basically a Windows-only technology. Bah.

Any other suggestions, anyone?

Regards

Adam

Hello All,

After flashing into whitecookie MIUI 1.10.8 I noticed that i'm having problems with my camera.

When I try to use my barcode scanner program, the screen is scrambled. When i put it in camera mode, it works fine, but I cannot zoom in or zoom out. When I put it in video mode, it seems fine until I press the record button. Once the record button was pressed, the screen turned white. When I stop recording, the screen turn back to normal, but the recorded file cannot be played.

I tried to fix it by going into manage program/ camera/ and clear data, I also turned on the compatibility mode. I then boot in to xrecovery, clear dalvik and fix permission. All these did not help at all.
